Introducing My New Photography On The Brain Video Lesson Series

Dan Bailey's Adventure Photography Blog Posted on May 8, 2019 by DanJanuary 29, 2020

I’m excited to unveil my brand new video tutorial mentorship series, Photography On The Brain.

In this ongoing series of focused video lessons, I’m going to explore photography with a wide range of topics that challenge you to think about photography in a whole new way.

When you sign up for the series, I’ll send you a new tutorial video each month. In each lesson, we’ll explore a different aspect of photography and expand on topics like creativity, approach, method, technique, composition and how to develop your own personal vision in a way that goes deeper than regular “tips based” instruction.

These short, concise videos are designed to inspire, get you thinking more deeply about photography and motivate you to try and apply these concepts to your own image making.

You’ll also have the opportunity to join my private Photography On The Brain Flickr Group, where you can continue the conversation with me, ask questions, share your own insight and even post your own images for comment and critique.

The Video Companion to My Blog

Many of these concepts will be similar to what I feature here on my blog, but I’ll expand on them in first person with my own voice. I’ll be talking to you directly and showing you image examples to illustrate each topic.

This will allow a unique learning experience for you, because you’ll get much more personal and in-depth style of instruction, and you’ll get to see the excitement and passion I have for these topics. In this way, I consider Photography On The Brain to be the video companion to my blog, which has developed into a very influential and widely read photography resource for people around the world.

Develop Your Own Photography Brain

I call this series Photography On The Brain, because photography is indeed a very brain influenced activity. Starting with the decisions you make to actually create your photo, to the ways that human beings respond to imagery, I feel that great imagery starts and ends in the brain.

In addition, the technical and creative craft of photography makes use of both left and right brain components, which is one of the main reasons that photography is such a challenging and rewarding activity.

The more mental brain power, i.e., “active thought process” you put into your photography, the more confident you’ll be with your problem solving skills and your own creativity. You’ll be better able to capture compelling, powerful images and develop a style that continues to evolve year after year.

In these lessons, I’ll be sharing with you the very ideas that continue to drive my own fascination and enthusiasm for photography, and help you expand your own level of creativity, confidence, efficiency and personal approach to the image making process.

Here’s What You’ll Get

Each month, you’ll receive a concise video lesson, around ten minutes in length, in which I will explore a specific aspect about photography in an intelligent, thought-provoking way. 

You can either watch the lesson right in your browser on any device, or download the lesson to watch later. You’ll have unlimited access to watch all current and previous lessons, so you can always go back and revisit certain topics if you wish.

At the end of each lesson, I’ll leave you with a specific challenge that will encourage you to try and apply these ideas in your own photography going forward. You may find that the approach is not always obvious, and that’s the point, since my goal is to get you thinking more deeply about the process of photography and creativity.

Continue the Conversation in our Private Flick Group

If you sign up for the “WORKSHOP LEVEL” Tier of this mentorship, you’ll receive an invitation to our private Photography On The Brain FLICKR Group. Here, you’ll be able to participate in the conversation as we explore the lesson topics even further.

You can ask questions, share you own ideas and insight and interact with me, as well as fellow members, and you can even share your own photos and see the techniques that other photographers are using to capture their shots.

In this way, you’ll be able to benefit from the shared learning that a community like this offers, and maximize your potential for growth as a photographer.

You’ll also be able to help influence the direction of this mentorship, as the questions you ask will help spark ideas that I’ll cover in future lessons.

A Unique and Exclusive Instruction Style

I can guarantee for certain that you won’t get this stuff anywhere else. How do I know this? Simple. Because it will me talking to you, not anyone else, and I’ll be sharing personal ideas and insight about photography that come straight from my own brain.

These are the concepts that fascinate and intrigue me on a very personal level, and that have continue to excite and drive my own photography year after year. Even though I’ve been shooting photos for nearly three decades, my own passion and skill with photography keeps improving, and I continue to shoot photos that I’m absolutely in love with just about every single month.

This is the kind of excitement I want to share with you. I want you to have the same passion and confidence with your photography as I do, because I know just how awesome it feels to capture an amazing image with your camera. I want you to have that kind of success on a regular basis.

Any Camera and Subjects Welcome

This mentorship series is not designed around any specific camera system or any specific style of photography, it’s for all outdoor photographers, regardless of brand or style. No matter if you shoot landscapes, travel, sports, action, adventure, lifestyle or outdoor portraits, the concepts and process for capturing a powerful apply equally to all genres.

Although I use Fujifilm X Series cameras and lenses, and may occasionally demonstrate certain techniques in my lessons with my Fuji, the ideas and methods I talk about are universal and apply to all camera systems.

In the end, photography is not about the gear anyway, it’s about the big lump of gray matter behind that camera. That’s what determines how you pictures will look and how good you are at capturing photos that excite you and your viewers.

Take Advantage of My Expertise & Experience

As an accomplished pro photographer, workshop leader, author and a Top 100 photography blogger, I have inspired thousands of people with my expert knowledge, my honest, down-to-earth and highly inspirational approach, and my infectious, energetic attitude towards life and photography.

​My ideas are based on giving students a mix of mentally engaging ideas that help expand creativity, and real-world methods that allow them to maximize their skills and confidence, while liberating them from the bounds of what they often think they’re “supposed to do” in order to be good photographers.

I’m really excited about this new series, so if you’re hungry for new ideas and open to a fresh, motivational approach to learning in a fun, thought-proking way, then give me a chance. Take advantage of my extensive knowledge and experience. I’m certain that I can make a difference in your photography. And if you find that this mentorship is not right for you, you can cancel at any time.

You’ll get a huge amount of insight and inspiration for the price of two cups of coffee each month, or in the case of the WORKSHOP tier, the cost of a single sandwich. Isn’t your photography and creativity worth that?

Photographing in The Palouse

Dan Bailey's Adventure Photography Blog Posted on June 8, 2017 by DanJune 8, 2017

I’m in The Palouse this week, helping out… crashing one of the Fuji X workshops led by Jack Graham and Bill Fortney. If you’re unfamiliar with The Palouse (don’t feel bad, I’d never heard of this region until recently), it’s a large agricultural area in eastern Washington mostly comprised of canola, wheat and legume farms.

It’s probably one of the most recognizable areas on the entire planet, because that’s where the iconic Windows desktop picture was shot.

Filled with gentle rolling fields of brilliant green that stretch for endless miles, as well as a multitude of red barns, old GMC trucks and other vintage things covered with peeling paint and rust, this area is a photographer’s paradise.

From grand, vast scenics shot across miles of open land to close up details, The Palouse has enough subject matter to keep you busy for days, weeks, years.

Since I came all the way down to speak at Glazers Photofest this weekend, I figured I’d extend my trip and join Jack and Bill at the workshop. Both fellow X-Photographers, I taught with Jack and Bill at the recent Fujifim X-Photographers Summit in The Great Smoky Mountains, and I’ll be teaching with them as well for the September Fujifilm Summit, which will take place in Oregon.

It’s always a blast to see those guys, and it’s been fun to meet some other photographers and see a few old friends as well. I always enjoy sharing my knowledge about photography and helping people get the most from their cameras.

I hope to see some of you this weekend, if you come to the Glazers event, be sure and say hi! I’m giving my talks both days, and when I’m not speaking, I’ll be hanging out at the Fujifilm booth.

Recap of the Inaugural Fujifilm X-Photographers Travel & Nature Summit

Dan Bailey's Adventure Photography Blog Posted on April 10, 2017 by DanApril 10, 2017

This past week, we ran the inaugural Fujifilm X-Photographers Nature and Travel Summit in the Great Smokies.

Led by Bill Fortney, Jack Graham, Karen Hutton and me, we had a wonderful and enthusiastic group of participants, a diverse mix of weather conditions and some great photography opportunities.

The workshop format featured both in-class workshop presentations, image critiques and daily outdoor shooting sessions in Great Smoky Mountains National Park. (We did three sunrise outings and one afternoon sessions.)

Each of us gave two insightful talks that focused on how we use the X Series cameras and lenses in our photography. We shared some of the specific techniques, compositional ideas and creative methods we use to make our imagery, and how we apply some of the specific features these cameras offer within our styles.

In addition, there were two Fujifilm tech reps on hand to help answer specific gear questions, update firmware for people and explain what every single button, dial and menu does on these cameras.

The reps also had every single X Series body and lens available for demo, and they even had a GFX system for people to try out.

On Thursday, we held a panel discussion that included Yuji Igarashi and Lisa Yang, who joined us from New York. Lisa is the X Series and GFX Product Manager and Yuji is the General Manager of Electronic Imaging for Fujifilm North America.

They made a special trip down to answer questions about the product line, talk with users and get feedback from people about what they like about the system, what could be improved and what features they would like to see added in future firmware updates.

After the panel discussion, they Yuji and Lisa hung around for a full day and made time for anyone who wanted to ask questions or share their thoughts about the system.

This was a real treat, indeed. How often do camera users get to talk directly to the specific brand managers about their gear? Fujifilm is so open to hearing customer feedback and they definitely pass it along to the designers and engineers in Japan.

Although the summit began in the midst of a torrential rain storm, the weather eventually cleared up and we had a handful of fun and engaging field sessions in the park. The relatively small instructor-to-student ratio allowed each person to get some personal one-on-one time with each of us during the four days.

It was an honor for me to be one of the four X-Photographers at the summit. I really enjoyed teaching with Jack, Bill and Karen, and sharing my knowledge and expertise with the participants. Ands, of course, I made a number of new friends during the week.

This is always a highlight for me. I love getting to know other photographers during workshops, especially when they happen to be people who already follow my blog.

To all of you who were down there, it was a real pleasure getting to know you. Thanks so much for making my experience so meaningful, as short as it was. I hope to cross paths with you again.

I’ll be one of the instructors at the fall summit as well, which will be held in Portland, OR, September 6-10. I’m looking forward to that event; I hope you can join us!

It was an honor to work with the amazing and illustrious Bill Fortney.

Lyrics: 

Christmas this year looks a whole lot different
'cause we all gotta be a little socially distant
Can't go shopping, can't get on a plane
I miss my family, it just don't seem the same
I'm stuck at home with the one I love
It's been the way for the past nine months
Just you and me, this year we're laying low
Watching holiday reruns of our favorite shows

We'll make some new traditions and call 'em our own
dance beneath he mistletoe
this year we'll have a very very cozy Christmas.

We'll hang our stockings by the chimney with care
Get a little tree and put it right over there
Santa will know just where to put our stuff
But as long as you're here I don't need very much 
Our scaled down Christmas will be better than fine
Cause we have each other and our favorite wine
They'll be love all around and lots of new toys
This small celebration will be full of joy!

We'll make some new traditions, call 'em our own
Dancing beneath he mistletoe
You and I will have a very very cozy Christmas

No holiday parties, and nowhere to go
At least we've got plenty of snow
Some fresh cut logs in burning in the stove
And Brian Setzer Christmas on the radio!

We'll make some new traditions, call 'em our own
Dancing beneath the mistletoe
You and I will have a very very cozy Christmas

Playing outside when it's 20 below
Drinking hot cocoa decorating our home
This year will have a very very cozy Christmas

In this short film, I take you along with me during a summer hike out to an Alaskan glacier and give you a virtual adventure tour of this wild place. Set to original music.

The Lake George Glacier is one of large ice fields in the Chugach Mountains of Alaska. I've explored this area a number of times over the years, and it's always an amazing sight to behold. During this summer's visit, I was struck at how much the glacier has receded in a very short time frame. Three years ago, I was able to walk right out on the ice, but now, the edge of the ice lies hundreds of feet away from the surrounding hillsides and it's much lower in elevation.

Check out this blog post to see the dramatic difference in the ice levels compared to a few years ago: https://danbaileyphoto.com/blog/hiking-on-the-lake-george-glacier-alaska/

Most of the footage in this video was shot with the FUJIFILM X-T3 camera - https://bhpho.to/2OtBndb and the FUJFILM X100V - https://tinyurl.com/y3wvzf76. Read my full review of the X100V here: https://danbaileyphoto.com/blog/first-look-at-the-brand-new-fujifilm-x100v/

I’m honored to make @the_adventure_junkies Top 2 I’m honored to make @the_adventure_junkies Top 25 Outdoor Photography Blogs list for 2021! Thanks to all my readers for your continued support and for helping me help you guys be better photographers! Oh, and here’s Gilbert standing guard over the phalanx of rugged peaks that line the north side of Colony Glacier. #fujifilm_xseries #neverstopexploring #alaska #greatnorthcollective #awesomeearth #choosemountains
So, this is a little different... Today, I release So, this is a little different... Today, I released, what is essentially my debut album. I also started a music blog to chronicle and share my own geeky ideas about music and guitar, since those things are such enormously important parts of my life. I’ve been a guitar player for longer than I’ve been a photographer, and I studied music recording and production at @berkleecollege of music. And, with the crazy year we’ve had, I’ve decided that my life is too short to not try and make as much music as I can going forward. 

My brand new album, “Seven Years” is a collection of newly remastered guitar oriented instrumentals I recorded between 2000-2007. Those seven years represent the evolution, and the beginnings of my experiments and learning experience with songwriting and digital recording. You can listen and read my music blog in my profile link.
